5 Part One Accommodation 1. Introduction: Moving Out Of Home? One of the most daunting aspects of moving out of home is finding suitable, affordable accommodation. It is important to get organised and start the search as soon as possible. Do your research and make sure you find out as much as possible about the accommodation before you commit to it. This guide can help you begin your search for the right accommodation for you. Booking ahead into temporary accommodation close to the college until you find something more long term is likely to be the best option. Many first year students opt initially for hostel, backpacker or hotel type accommodation until they find longer term accommodation. Many hostels have waiting lists, so apply as soon as possible. Students can also arrange short term Homestay accommodation. You can also speak to a William Angliss Institute (WAI) counsellor for more information on or by ing counselling@angliss.edu.au. You can access further accommodation and finance support information by going to mywai Student Portal What Will it Cost? Make sure you have a budget in mind when considering accommodation. Rental costs vary depending on the suburb. You can find more information on average rental costs on The Real Estate Institute of Victoria website ( Research). In addition, you must allow money for furniture, internet, food, travel, electricity and/or gas, telephone, school fees etc. Part 2 Money Matters of this guide can assist you with managing a budget. Local Students may be eligible for Youth Allowance or AUSTUDY payments from Centrelink. Rates of benefit vary depending on age and whether you are living at home, or away from home because home is too far from the institution at which you are studying to reasonably travel there and back each day. Rates of pay vary. Information booklets and application forms are available at Centrelink Offices. Please note that you are not automatically classified as independent if you live away from home. There are stringent conditions for independence and many students living away from home are still assessed on their parent s income. However, if you have worked for a certain period of time, you may be considered as an independent even if you have previously been ineligible. So it pays to check with Centrelink again because their requirements and your circumstance may have changed since you last inquired. Apprentices who do not work in their hometown may be eligible for a Living- away- from- home allowance or Entry Level Training Incentive. Forms are available from Centrelink (local students only) V

6 2. New to Melbourne? - YOU'RE NOT ALONE! Many William Angliss Institute students are from country Victoria, interstate and overseas. The majority of these students moved to Melbourne in order to commence their studies at the William Angliss Institute. If you are an international student you have a number of different options for accommodation available to you. Your choice depends on what you prefer. Have a look through this guide and check out some of the websites and go and see the accommodation for yourself. Some places are specifically set up for the international student. The Living in Melbourne, Studying at William Angliss Institute Guide is a great resource to help you learn more about living in Melbourne. You can find a copy on the WAI website. You might also like to explore the following websites designed for International students to help them settle in to a new city: City of Melbourne International student information including Study Melbourne Student Centre AMES- Settle in Australia Student Services Australia What s On for International Students Meld Magazine Social groups- Meetup and The Couch rnationalstudents Students Under 18 Years of Age Guardianship Arrangements If you are under 18 and an international student you must arrange guardianship.

8 5. Finding Accommodation Things to Consider How much rent can you afford to pay (do you need to share to cut costs for example)? Will you have enough money for a bond and the first month s rent (do you need to save more)? Will you use public transport, drive or walk to WAI and how much time will that take (consider the right location)? How far do you have to walk to get public transport (is this realistic for you)? How regular is the transport to and from your accommodation and William Angliss Institute (will you have to wait a lot for transport)? Are you comfortable sharing with people you don't know? Do you have sufficient life skills to live independently (consider homestay if not)? Would you prefer somewhere furnished or unfurnished (check what accommodation options offer)? Do you know your rights and responsibilities as a tenant or lodger (see our Useful Contacts page for more information)? Do you know your legal responsibility if you sign a lease? Will you look for part time work in the area (will your home be close to work)? Are you happy to pool your resources to furnish a house (may be suggested in a share house)? Do you want to pay into a kitty (all housemates put money together) for food each week or be responsible for your own? V4 1014

9 6. Cheap Furniture and Appliances When moving into a new house especially if you are just leaving home the cost of furniture can become quite expensive. There are however several ways to save on the cost of furniture: Furniture and Appliance Rentals Renting is the best option if you plan to live in your house for a limited time. The advantage here is that rental companies usually deliver items, and remove them when you leave, which can be useful if you don t have a car to transport items of furniture. The cost can however become quite a burden if you rent a lot of furniture, and on a permanent basis Look in the Yellow pages phone directory or online. Second Hand Furniture Acquiring second hand and disused furniture, is a really affordable way to furnish a house. Opportunity shops are a great place to start, as they usually have a lot of furniture at affordable prices. Three examples are listed below. The Salvation Army Shops Smith Street Collingwood VIC 3066 Phone: (03) Inkerman Street St Kilda VIC 3182 Phone: (03) Victoria Street Richmond VIC 3121 Phone: (03) Brotherhood of St Lawrence Ground Floor, Royal Arcade 335 Bourke Street Mall Melbourne VIC 3000 Phone: (03) St Vincent de Paul Centre 121 Johnston St. Collingwood VIC 3066 Phone: (03) Brunswick St Fitzroy VIC 3065 Phone: (03) Port Melbourne 326 Bay Street Port Melbourne VIC 3207 Phone: (03) Online Websites and Apps Used (and sometimes new) furniture can also often be found advertised by people online. Some of the more popular websites include: Trading Post post.com.au ebay Australia Gumtree Ziilch V

10 7. Important Information about Renting Bond Bond is an amount of money that you will be expected to pay an agent or landlord/landlady as a security deposit. For more information download the bond fact sheet below. The Bond Loan Scheme - local (Australian) students only If you cannot afford to pay bond and you are a local student, you may be able to borrow the money from your local housing office. This is known as the Bond Loan Scheme. You can find further information from this website Tenancy Agreement A tenancy agreement is a legally binding contract so it is important you read it carefully. Do not sign it without inspecting the property first. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS BE ALERT FOR SCAMS! Not all advertisements for accommodation are genuine, with rental scams taking place worldwide. Here are some warning signs to look out for: 1. Offer that are too good to be true 2. Ongoing excuses as to why the property cannot be viewed. 3. Securing the property requires an upfront fee via money transfer 4. The prospective landlord lives interstate or overseas. How to protect yourself: 1. Insist on inspecting the property driving by is not enough. 2. Do not rely on information provided by someone recommended by the person advertising the property. 3. If you are satisfied that the offer is legitimate and decide to accept it, keep copies of all correspondence, banking details and the listing itself. Source: Scamwatch.gov.au V4 1014

Other benefits are available to domestic students which include Youth Allowance, ABStudy and Austudy payments. For eligibility contact Centrelink on (note this is for Australian students only). Avoiding Debt Making a Budget: If you are having difficulty managing your finances, preparing a budget can help bring things under control. The key factor to a good budget is to monitor your financial incomings and matching them to your financial outgoings. When estimating your expense, write down a slightly higher figure to account for price increases. A blank budget table (expenditure and income) for you to use can be found on the following pages. Credit Cards: if used carefully, credit cards can be useful when managing finances. However, if credit card debt is allowed to accumulate, it can quickly get out of control due to high interest rates. Look for cards that don t charge annual fees. Mobile Phones: Owning a mobile keeps you connected but call rates and excessive use can lead to financial debt. Below are some tips for avoiding Mobile Phone traps: 1. Know what you want a mobile phone for and then find the best deal. 2. Prices for phones and call rates can vary on the time of day and which provider you are with, so shop around and do your sums to be sure a deal is right for you. 3. If you think that you will make lots of calls, then find a provider that offers a flat rate cost per month that includes a set amount of calls. 4. If you want a phone mostly for emergencies then you can connect to a provider with no monthly fees. 5. If you are wary of being locked into a contract, then buy a prepaid handset that you purchase credit with when you have the money to spare. 6. Only sign a mobile contract after you have read it and understood it. Don t rely on the salesperson to explain it to you. Bring a friend along if you re struggling to understand the language used. 7. Remember that mobile phone contracts that provide you with a phone will have a minimum monthly fee that keeps being charged even if you have stopped using the phone or have been cut- off due to not paying bills. 8. To protect yourself from nasty surprises should your phone be stolen, consider getting your service provider to bar access to international, info services and other expensive phone services. 9. Be clear about the real and overall cost of any service available to you. If you want extras such as photo- messaging, video calls and voice mail, work out exactly how much it will cost and decide if it is worth it V

24 13. Counselling and Personal Development Your time at William Angliss Institute may be exciting and it may also be a time of change and stress. To manage as a student it is important to learn to manage the changes in your life. Knowing that you need a bit of extra help is a sign of your personal strength and your concern for yourself and your studies. As a student, you are going to face many challenges which counselling can help you manage. Being positive and managing your emotional well- being increases your academic success and sense of achievement. YOU DON T NEED TO BE IN A CRISIS OR DEALING WITH A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO GO TO COUNSELLING. Addressing your concerns before they become huge is a really good idea. What is counselling anyway? If you were puzzled about something in class, or were struggling with a certain aspect of your work, you would seek out help from a teacher or work colleague who can help you look at the problem differently so that you can understand it better and change the way you approach it. You might learn new skills to help you manage and perform better. Counselling is like that. What services does the Counselling and Personal Development Centre offer? Personal Counselling Relationship and family issues Shyness and making friends Anxiety, stress and depression Drug- related issues Poor sleep Low motivation And any other personal issue Personal Development Quitting Smoking Weight Management Life goal coaching Study Skills Time Management Study techniques Exam & Test preparation Consultation Conflict resolution Bullying and harassment Sexual harassment Logon to MyWAI Student Portal for information on Accommodation and Finance support and on Counselling Services Counselling Services are free and confidential to students of William Angliss Institute V4 1014
